This symbol indicates a prohibited action. This symbol indicates an instruction or an action.
Requirements on types of reminders: These are based on requirements on the following kinds of risks by the Japan Office and Institutional Furniture
Association (JOIFA).
Warning - There is a possibility of death or serious injury when errors in handling occur.
Caution - There is a possibility of
injury or damage to property arising if errors in handling occur.
Caution
when using on
smooth or hard floors
The FURTIF chair uses slip-
resistant twin-wheel urethane
casters, so the chair rolls only
under load. Once you get up,
the rollers brake to prevent
unwanted rolling away.
Nevertheless, you should
always check the position first
before sitting down and then
sit down. When taking your
seat, check the position of the
chair and then sit down.
Caution
– Do not stand
on the chair. You may fall and
hurt yourself.
Caution
– Do not use for
anything other than its normal
use, such as use moving
things around. You may fall
and hurt yourself.
Caution
– Do not use
in a inhabited space without
ventilation.
Method to determine the required
ventilation volume:
Required ventilation volume
(m³/hr) = 20 x floor area of inhabited
space (m
2
)
Area occupied per single person
(m²) – Procedure based on Building
Standards Act.
This is one example of calculating
the ventilation volume in an office.
(Note 1:) Although the meaning of
“20” in the above formula is 20 (m³/
hr x person), the basis for this is the
ventilation volume required based on
the volume of CO
2
emitted by an adult
male while sitting quietly. (Note 2:) If
the area occupied per single person
in an inhabited room exceeds 10(m²),
it will be set as 10(m²).
Caution
– Do not use with
the seat pan wobbling or when
an abnormal sound occurs.
The chair body may break and
an injury may result.
If there is a defect, immediate-
ly stop using the product and
contact the sales outlet where
it was purchased.
Caution
– Do not sit on
or get up on the armrests. You
could fall and hurt yourself.
Caution
– Do not
disassemble parts that are
not described in the “Parts
Replacement Procedure”.
This could result in an
injury or damage to the chair.
Replacement gas spring may
only be carried out by quali-
fied personnel!
Caution
– Do not insert
your fingers into the gaps of
rotating or movable parts.
Your fingers may be pinched
and injuries may occur.
Caution
– Do not perch
on the front edge of the seat
pan. You may fall and hurt
yourself.
